Old deck description —Sept. 30, 2020

So the original concept of this deck was to simply discard your low cost high power cards then bring out the commander and scavenge them for instant high power creatures, but as time progressed and I got new cards, the deck has evolved into more of a heavy sacrifice deck. You get combos with token spawners such as: Bitterblossom, Awakening Zone, and Mitotic Slime. Then you combo them with cards such as Dictate of Erebos, Butcher of Malakir, and Savra, Queen of the Golgari which force your opponent to sacrifice their whole bored leaving him/herself open to the monsters you have on the field. (keep in mind for this combo to work you NEED the commander. While his scavenge effect can be very useful what you really want is his second effect so you can sacrifice creatures whenever you want) And although the deck has transformed into this sacrifice heavy deck the original concept is still very much in there. I have won many games by using his effect.

 So now that we know this deck is basically complete what combos are you guys looking for. Well do I got some combos for you!

  1. Best combo in deck: you start. Turn 1: Swamp into Dark Ritual followed by Entombing a Sheoldred, Whispering One or It That Betrays. Reanimate what you entombed. Then with your floating black mana you play Sol Ring tap add 2 colorless play a Lightning Greaves equip it and swing for turn one MAX DAMAGE!!! That is just the best combo my deck has (which you need 6 cards but whatever)

  2. you can always go with the simple turn 3 Buried Alive for Phyrexian Dreadnought, Death's Shadow and Brawn and then scavenge them.

  3. Bitterblossom and then Smokestack is a fine play. The combos in this deck are sometimes insane and other times slow. It really, like always, depends on what you draw.

  4. Greenwarden of Murasa + Eldritch Evolution + any card that brings creatures back from the dead. This makes for a wonderful way to cheat out the big creatures in your deck without having to pay any mana besides the evolution cost.

  5. Comboing any Graveyard creature spam with Gray Merchant of Asphodel for TONS OF LIFE, or using Woodfall Primus for land removal (totally a dick move btw)

Please do not that when I have used this deck against my friends they have been mad at the hard control style of the deck. (I'm sorry guys!) So if that isn't your playstyle this deck might not be for you.
